Royal and COSTUMING!!!!

Well Saturday was really easy for me! I came and helped in the morning as a wrangler and watched my sister ride. Then I JI'd on Banjo for J2. That horse has the weirdest gaits... I'll never understand them. At 11 I got to COSTUME FOR ROYAL! I was so excited to finally put the costumes on. We have 4 total. A shirt that is reversible so it's two costumes in one and we wear this with our dress blouse. The team favorite (the pirate shirts) which is a super lightweight purple long sleeve. It is so silky it feels like you are wearing pajamas. I can't wait to wear that one in a show. Last we have "the clown costume" which is a white t shirt with puffy silver and purple sleeves sewn on. Then you put a red jerkin over and red cuffs. This one was warmer so it's only used at annual but it's a very pretty costume and I honestly liked it a lot. We helped the monitors put the costumes back on our tack truck and I finally got to watch nighthorse and see some of my friends. I also sat and watched Crimson with some of my new Royal teammates. Chey was in a class as usual but I made it in time for warm ups so that was good. We rode to music too! We lined up for Flag. I was P1 in GPA 2 for the first drill so I got to post for Spread Star and do a roll back. Chey is soooooo good at those I love it :) For the second drill I was 3-1. Something clicked with Chey and I and we nailed every lead change in the entire drill! I was so happy that we finally figured each other out. For the last drill I was 2-2. This drill wasn't as good as the first two but it was still good. I missed one flying lead chane but broke down to a trot and picked it back up. We really rode boot to boot. I don't think my legs have ever been so smashed together lol. Chey surprisingly didn't need to be unsaddled so I took Freedom and Stretch home instead :) I hope we get to ride with flags soon. I'm also officially signed up to ride in Easter Parade!!! I can't wait to finally have my full costume on. I'll finally feel official! I'm not sure if Chey's Red Team rider is doing the parade so Idk if I'll ride Chey or not. I guess we will have to wait and see.
